“This landmark decision isn’t just about regulating a single company — it’s about standing up for fairness, competition, and a healthier internet ecosystem.”
Then the DOJ should rule on what a monopoly is, and go after basically every big company. Take the oil markets for example.
Give me a break, the DOJ is a joke, and probably took a bribe from Googles competition.
Why do we always have comments defending these mega-corps. There’s always the “what about…” people saying that something else needing regulating means this mega-corp shouldn’t be regulated. How about any of it being regulated is good. We can hopefully get around to the other things eventually, but we can’t do it all at the same time. (That, and Trump’s adm. probably is going to put a stop to any of it, so just be happy that we’ve seen anything happen.)

I’ve heard this every election cycle my entire life, particularly from the DNC. “We can’t have that because of some arbitrary norm that we have to respect and adhere to that we could totally change, but, oopsies, would ya look at that, we lost the majority, so give us money and elect us and we promise this time we’ll get to it! Eventually, after we handle all this other stuff that came up since the last time we got absolutely nothing done to help you, but we promise, this time, for real.”
but we can’t do it all at the same time.
Says who? We make the rules, it’s our government, where in the Constitution does it say “You may only enact legislation that incrementally changes things for the better over the course of decades, assuming none of it is undone?”
so just be happy that we’ve seen anything happen.
Why? When it doesn’t change anything, and it’s just going to be undone, why should we be happy about that? Why do we have to keep being “happy” that nothing is changing for the better? Why do we have to keep applauding and cheering and supporting this bullshit when it means absolutely nothing?
This is like someone telling you they’re cold, and you light a match and hold it between you both. When they ask why you don’t use the match to light some of the logs and paper littered around the room for more warmth, you let the match burn out and tell them they should be happy you did something.
Like, wow, they’re still cold, the resources are still scattered around the room unused, the “fire” burnt out shortly after it was lit, and now they’re not allowed to complain about it either.
Law enforcement is done on a case by case basis. The laws already exist. Congress doesn’t matter for this right now. The courts (and DOJ) have to go through each case individually and see how the law applies. It can’t all be done at once, as a matter of fact.
Since we can’t do it all at once, the comment above’s opinion seems to be we should do nothing because the oil industry needs enforcement first. Someone else will point to another thing.
It’s good it’s happening at all. The past few years I’ve seen more anti-monopoly rulings than the rest of my life combined. It’s been great. It’s all about to end though.

Guarantee Microsoft is funding this from a shadow shell corporation like all the other times.

I’m guessing you’re also a one issue voter.
Explain to me how you got from point a to point b here.
